HIGH FALUTIN' MAMA

Bill Nettles & His Dixie Blue Boys - 1945


She's got this and she's got that
Three goldfish, a dog and cat
That shy little high-falutin' Mama

She's got gold and diamond rings
And a million other things
That shy little high-falutin' Mama

She's got plenty money
But I'm tellin' you she's tight
She won't even write a cheque
Unless I hold the light

She looks cute all dressed in blue
Strollin' down the avenue
That shy little high-falutin' Mama

Yes sir
High-falutin' Senorita
(Instrumental Break)

She's got this and she's got that
Three goldfish, a dog and cat
That shy little high-falutin' Mama

She's got gold and diamond rings
And a million other things
That shy little high-falutin' Mama

She's got plenty money
But I'm tellin' you she's tight
She won't even write a cheque
Unless I hold the light

She looks cute all dressed in blue
Strollin' down the avenue
That shy little high-falutin' Mama

Oh, Danny, yes sir
(Instrumental Break)

She's got plenty money
But I'm tellin' you she's tight
She won't even write a cheque
Unless I hold the light

She looks cute all dressed in blue
Strollin' down the avenue
That shy little high-falutin' Mama
Yes sir!
